senior project mentor/volunteering IX

More about the ED:

The first day I arrived at the ED I learned how to irrigate a person's wound. It seemed very painful but through the pain the wound needs to be cleaned no matter what. When irrigating, it is to prevent any infection in the wound. The patient had to undergo many tests. When the patient's x-ray came out he had fractures and needed to be transferred to another hospital. Since I want to become a doctor in the future one of my mentor's students was able to teach me how stressful residency is when he was assessing another patient.
